As anticipation grows for the fourth series of Game Of Thrones, fans have been given yet another advance treat with the arrival of plot details for the first four episodes.

In addition to episode titles, the four synopses also give viewers some idea of what they can expect when the show returns to Sky Atlantic next month.

And it all kicks off with an opening instalment entitled Two Swords, which will see Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister welcome a guest to King’s Landing.

Arya (Maisie Williams) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) will also take centre stage in the first episode, as the former is brought together with an old confidance and Dany sets her sights on the slave city Meereen.

Meanwhile episode two, The Lion and The Rose, sees Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) and Margaery (Natalie Dormer) host an important breakfast, while Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) realises his desination north of the Wall.

The third episode, Breaker Of Chains, sees Tyrion with some important decisions to make, helped by his father Tywin (Charles Dance), while episode four, entitled Oathmaker, will see Bran and his companions find shelter as Jaime and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) are reunited.

The plot news follows the release of a 15-minute trailer last month which offered glimpses of the Purple Wedding, Daenerys’ growing dragons and interviews with the cast.

Game Of Thrones series four will premiere in the US on Sunday April 6 at 9pm on HBO, and will debut in the UK on Sky Atlantic the following night.
